Dog Behaviour Problems and Prevention
Dog behaviour problems and prevention are two sides of the same challenge: addressing what is not working while setting your dog up for long-term success. Whether you are dealing with barking, chewing, jumping, digging, or other unwanted behaviours, this category provides guidance on how to respond calmly, consistently, and humanely.
You will find posts that break down why common behaviour issues happen, what triggers or reinforces them, and how to create a plan for behaviour change that fits your dog’s needs and your lifestyle. Topics include management strategies, redirection techniques, reward-based alternatives, and how to use training to prevent issues from developing in the first place.
At Belle and Bark, we believe that dog behaviour problems and prevention should always start with understanding. Most issues are a reflection of unmet needs, unclear expectations, or emotional stress. By focusing on the root cause instead of just the surface behaviour, you can make lasting changes that feel fair and effective for your dog.
This category is ideal for both new and experienced guardians looking for real-world solutions grounded in science and compassion. Whether you are working on fixing a persistent issue or hoping to prevent problems before they start, these posts will help you guide your dog with confidence and care.
Explore this category to learn how dog behaviour problems and prevention can be managed using kind, proactive approaches that build better habits and stronger relationships.
